Pros

-lots of work as the company is expanding and overtime -Working in teams and teaching one another -amazing training and classes provided by training team -great work positive work environment -motto "get whys", know the reason (and understand it) what you are doing and why it is important to the company as a whole and to the customers -great perks as an employee in sales, and discounts on products

Cons

-management is constantly looking over your shoulder -as a contractor you do not get any company employee's perks -worst of all they ended my contract early without notice or reason -as a contractor it is difficult to advance because they keep you doing the same tasks for a long time before teaching you something new.

Pros

Decent base pay, somewhat autonomous, great tip potential.

Cons

The company has changed for the worse since COVID. When I came back the mood of the entire store had shifted. Gone were the days of comradery, customer focus, and taking pride in a job well done. In its place there is a new culture of cutthroat sales, a severe decline in customer focus, and worst of all a new focus on profit over customer satisfaction. When I was told that the amount the store charged for a shoe shine was not enough to do the best job I could for a customer I knew things had gone downhill for the company. Not to mention I watch a manager prey on a mentally disabled person in order to secure a sale, when the person could not understand what was being offered. Sad that such a once great company is now just another greed ridden corporation.
